I feel that it sufficiently protects my Kindle. According to the Marware site, it is 2mm thick (but since it wraps around the Kindle, it adds a total thickness of 4mm). It's quite a bit more expensive than the item you linked, but it is quite nice, and is much cheaper than the average cover. |
Yeah, that doesn't look too shappy, though it is expensive, as you pointed out. Still 2 mm of silicone probably doesn't offer the best protection from drops from 1+ meters. Still much better than no extra protection at all, obviously.
I wonder why they don't make some with 4+ mm (silicone/gel). Yes, it would be a bit more bulky, but it wouldn't be a problem, for me at least. And it would probably offer very good protection, at least if it landed on a corner. In case of a faceplant the materiale would have to be exstremely soft since it lands on such a large sufface area. That would cancel out much of the absorption capability of the skin.
Bobbles counter that:
Maybe they could put some bubbles on the font and back of my 4+ mm fantasy skin. Hehe.
I'll just stop typing now...
